My philosophy as a teacher is simple: music is for everyone. I believe there is a musician inside every person, and my greatest joy is helping you discover yours. Whether you dream of mastering a Chopin nocturne, playing your favorite pop song by ear, or simply finding a creative outlet, I am here to guide you on that journey.  

​

With patience, passion, and a personalized approach, I ensure that every lesson is not just productive, but also a genuinely enjoyable part of your week. 

​

My studio is a vibrant community of learners, from four-year-olds taking their first musical steps to adults rekindling a childhood passion or discovering a new one. I work with true beginners, competition-level students, and everyone in between. Your goals are my goals.  

​

So, whether you're here to build a unique skill, share the joy of music with friends, or finally play that song you've always loved on the radio, you are in the right place. 

​

Taking the first step can be the hardest part, but I promise you won't regret it. Let's embark on this life-enriching adventure together.

         what my students are saying*

"Tim has a welcoming, helpful attitude. Even when I was struggling, he was patient and gave me useful practice methods in order to improve by the next lesson. Overall he made lessons a fun, comfortable and positive experience."

​

​

"Mr. Stephenson's piano teaching and pedagogy was remarkable, and his ability to introduce new and worthwhile concepts each lesson was a refreshing change. I would be remiss not to mention Mr. Stephenson's personal skills as well, each lesson he made an effort to genuinely get to know me and some of my skills and goals. Through his efforts to connect on both musical and personal levels, each lesson was fun and engaging, and void of any discomfort or awkwardness (save for the occasional missed note of course)."

​
 

"Tim was extremely patient and understanding during my lessons. He always pushed me to be the best that I could be, even if I often felt defeated by certain passages in the music."

​

​

"His specific and focused feedback on my playing allowed each lesson to be extremely productive and leave me with a clear strategy to improve before my next lesson." 

​

​

"Great teacher! Very helpful from a teaching standpoint, and flexibility was great!"
